Really not so grand…read more This is my second time staying here and it's gotten worse since my last visit which has only been maybe 2 or 3 years ago. OK, so this is probably the best hotel you can stay at in or around Natchez but they are obviously floating by on that. The lobby is really nice, but that's where it ends. They don't seem to regularly upkeep the place. Cons: -Had a difficult time getting into the room multiple times, weird room key card issue -They are supposed to be a smoke free hotel, but our room smell like smoke and was musty smelling -No luggage rack. I really don't like having to put my suitcase on the bed or floor to unpack -Cheap outdated furniture -AC unit doesn't work well. I was here two nights and though the AC was set to 65, my family and I woke up hot multiple times. -Fridge was disgusting! Had to put our water in the door of the fridge because the other portion of the fridge was soiled and not clean -Bathroom sink leaks everytime it was turned on, toilet is way to low and the toilet handle was so loose I was afraid I was going to break it everytime I flushed. -Room too expensive and there was an added fee for the pool and Wi-Fi. Not cool -I wasn't expecting much from their breakfast offerings but it was not good at all. Everything was in those warming chafing dishes but everything but the grits was cold. French toast tasted like bread with maple syrup and it was hella chewy, breakfast sausage low quality, eggs fake, grits were actually good( in comparison) Pros: -Staff was friendly -Our room had a great view of the Mississippi River -We had a place to lay our head -My family liked how big and fluffy the pillows were. I had a crook in my neck both nights, but no fault of theirs -Cute, walkable area behind the hotel that had music, vendors and Christmas decorations Due to slim pickings, this probably won't be my last time here, but this hotel could really be nice if they put more effort into the rooms and upkeep. They need to do better.

Linens were not changed on the bed (nor was it made up each day) and requests for additional towels were not timely addressed. Microwave broke during use. Concierge was excellent, and the front desk team was nice and helpful. The complimentary breakfast was excellent. The hotel suffers from deferred maintenance and lack of urgency and follow through on room service requests.

Monmouth (Natchez, MS)…read more The house is absolutely stunning!!! The staff there is so freaking friendly. And the food,... omggggg it was so good. I got the pork chop and *starts drooling* it was fantastic!! The home was built in 1818 by John Hankinson, a postmaster, lawyer and, steamboat entrepreneur, during the depression that followed the War of 1812. The mansion was a brick two-story in the Federal style. Hankinson and his wife died soon after completing the house and the house was sold at a public auction to Calvin Smith, who one year later sold the property to John Anthony Quitman, the future Governor of Mississippi. John Quitman, originally of New York City, was a partner in a successful Natchez law firm and married Eliza Turner, a member of one of the most prominent families. Quitman purchased Monmouth in 1826. The house was extensively renovated in 1853 in the Greek Revival style. The original brick was covered by stucco, scored to look like stone, and the portico was added to the front, along with the four square columns supporting it. John A. Quitman died at Monmouth on July 17, 1858, apparently a victim of what was then called the National Hotel Disease an ailment similar to Legionnaire's Disease, which many American politicians contracted after staying or dining at the National Hotel in Washington, D.C. His wife died a year later and their children took control of the home. In 1862, when Natchez was attacked by the Union army, most of the slaves fled. Most of Quitman's original possessions were either stolen in 1863 or sold by Quitman's daughters in 1865 due to financial difficulty. The house was spared from further damage during the war, as the daughters befriended a Union general and pledged loyalty to the United States. In 1866, three of the daughters purchased their siblings' share of the property, and by 1890, Annie Rosalie was the sole owner of Monmouth. In 1914, she died and left the home to her nieces, who sold it in 1924. For the next half century, the house was severely neglected with the house and other surviving structures filled with litter and the grounds overgrown. After several changes of ownership, Ronald and Lani Riches of Los Angeles, California, purchased the property in 1978 and restored it to its original condition. The restoration took 3 years. In 1982, after archaeological research determined the location of two small houses used as slave quarters, the buildings were reconstructed on the original sites. Though most of John Quitman's original furnishings had been lost, the house still contained a few pieces such as a sofa, a carved settee, and several chairs. The Riches searched for other furniture and memorabilia from Quitman, and they were able to recover his desk, two four-poster beds, and the Quitman family Bible. Other memorabilia now include the gold sword presented to Quitman by James K. Polk and the United States Congress for his services in the Mexican-American War, as well as the red handkerchief Quitman used to rally his troops.

We came here for a house tour. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and very generous in answering our…read morequestions. Her name escapes me who gave the tour, but she was willing to provide both sides of the story of the home, and not a whitewashed version, which we appreciated. The home is very well taken care of and the grounds are beautiful. I cannot speak for the rooms as we did not see inside them and were not guests who stayed on the property. The house does not act as the place guests stay. They stay in other buildings that are on the property. Guest services were very nice as well.

Walking into my king suite at the Hampton Inn felt like re-entering civilization. Clean room, fresh air, everything working--just a shocking concept after what I had just endured. No mystery stains, no "what died in here?" aroma, no lingering sense that I might leave with a new, unnamed medical condition. And the breakfast? Actual food. Real, edible, recognizable food. Not the kind of experience where you question your life choices halfway through a bite and start mapping the nearest exit. Compared to the situation in Vidalia, this was basically Michelin-star dining. If you're staying anywhere near Natchez, do yourself a favor and just book the Hampton Inn. Skip the other spots unless you're specifically looking for a haunted house experience or a historic B&B where you might accidentally become part of the family. Here, you get a full, clean, modern setup--and most importantly, peace of mind that no one is going to touch your stuff, your food, or your immune system. Final verdict: Hampton Inn = sanity restored. Clarion Suites in Vidalia = never again, not even under witness protection.

She was loud and obnoxious and condescending, unlike very sweet and accommodating Brenda who checked us in and gave us a room facing the river instead of the autobooked room on the back side. Corporate, take note. Brenda should NOT be the one in trouble here. I don't care what your rate policies are, Brenda is the great employee and better not be in trouble for what she did that was above and beyond!

Odds are if you are a tourist, you come to Natchez, Mississippi, in search of history. Natchez is…read morenot the easiest place to get to in Mississippi, stuck away in a somewhat remote corner of the state along the mighty Mississippi River, just north of New Orleans where the River exits to the Gulf. History seeps from the sidewalks in this beautiful town. Natchez has many historic claims including being originally Natchez Indian territory, then part of France, then Spain, before becoming part of the United States and then Mississippi. You'll find structures here relating to each of these eras due to the strong historic preservation ethic alive in this town. Every historic preservation effort in the state of Mississippi traces its roots back to Natchez. My late wife was inspired by the beauty of Natchez and the history here to work a lifetime in Corinth to preserve it's historic past. Recently, I was privileged to spend a night in this lovely bed and breakfast. This Edwardian era home built around 1910 has been lovingly restored and furnished immaculately with antiques and period furnishings. If you are looking for accommodations that are shiny and new, this is not the place for you. Expect some squeaks in the floor and offsets in the floor in some places where modern additions have been made to accommodate things like indoor plumbing. Stairs to the upstairs bedrooms are somewhat narrow and steep. The magnificent view upstairs is the only compensation if you are fit enough for the climb. What you can expect here is a gracious host, an absolutely breathtaking view from the front and upstairs porches, a sumptuous truly Southern style breakfast, fine china and silverware, and an ambiance that will give you a sense of a bygone era. You will, in short, be transported back in time which for some of us is a good thing. If you are lucky enough to enjoy a visit here, I think you will enjoy it as much as I did.

There is no grander vista in all of Natchez than the upstairs porch high above and overlooking the Mississippi River. We practically parked ourselves there with delicious coffee in the morning (delivered to our door) and with cocktails in the afternoon after exploring Natches. I've stayed with two other B&Bs in Natchez in past years and nothing is to compare.

Magnolia Bluffs is conveniently situated slightly out of downtown. The positives include a beautiful modern lobby, outdoor swimming pool, complimentary breakfast.

We couldn't reach room service on the phone, so my husband went down to ask for an extra blanket. No one was at the front desk for 20 minutes and then it took them 20 more minutes to get a blanket.

I was afraid of it being too "antique" for me, but it was very nostalgic and gave comfort of an upscale vintage mansion that I was looking for. Highly recommend.

The cooking in the restaurant is serviceable. The building itself really is an old mansion and it has been very well maintained. It is one block from a coffee house, three blocks from the mighty Mississippi. I'd say it's the place to stay when traveling through Natchez. The staffing on a Sunday night was a little slim so if no one let's you in the front door when you arrive go around the side and come in through the patio.

The Burn (Natchez, MS) Soon after their arrival to Natchez, Federal troops began the creation of Fort McPherson, a large earthwork in the northern suburbs of the city. Designed by Capt.

The Burn was the headquarters for the Federal Fort McPherson, and later a hospital for wounded soldiers. The Burn was constructed for Aurora, New York, native John P. Walworth. The Walworths named the house The Burn, a Scottish term for brook, and their descendants owned it until 1935.

Walked in and there was dirt, food, stains, dust and grime over everything. There is no way anyone ran a vacuum here. Then I found poop stains on the bedding-my husband took pics as proof. There was blood stains on the bed my daughter was going to sleep in. We couldn't do it-so we asked for another room. Was given a room on floor 2. The key didn't worked-was told that the room had a broken lock. Was then moved back to floor 4, the room directly Nextdoor to the initial dirty one. Was told that housekeeping just finished cleaning it. This one wasn't much better. Bedding stained, floors were atrocious, mysterious stains on the sofa and chairs. The ice bucket appeared to have dark smudge stains on it. The drawer handles were sticky, did not want to know what that was. We didn't stay long enough to shower and quite frankly-I didn't want to step foot into the shower anyway judging from the amount of mold and hair in there. Needless to say-we all kept our socks and slippers on. We throughly checked the beds for any signs of bedbugs as that is always a worry, thankfully we didn't see any (I bring travel spray anyway to be safe). Unfortunately my daughter did spot a small spider on her bedding in which made for a pretty bad night with trying to settle down a panicked child. The water took FOREVER to heat up and the pressure was awful. Breakfast was free, but in all honesty, I didn't want to stay in the hotel any longer nor eat the food. We got up as early as we could and checked out. We expressed our concerns and showed pics of the poopy blankets in which the desk clerk giggled and never even made eye contact as if he had heard this before and knew. Wow. DO NOT STAY HERE. We should have just slept in our vehicle.
